Motorola HT820 + Trinity

Would the Motorola HT820 headphones work on Trinity?

They're working fine for me; the only tweak I did was to disable the JointStereo so I have proper stereo audio - there are a million threads about that around here, it's in the registry.
I have the SYN0948D model of the HT820, which I think is the newest, for previous ones there's a flash firmware update that may fix some skipping.

oh! Mind answering some questions for me?
How are they for music? Sound good? Any major problems? I use TCPMP for music.... will the controls work that are on the headphones themselves? How about the battery life (of the phone and the headphones?).
It seems the headphones also have a mic? Does that work with the phone?
Id appreciate if you could answer these for me... thanks!

The sound quality for music is certainly not what I'd call perfect.
Put it this way: I attached them using the supplied 2.5 -> 3.5 mil connector to my high-end audio card in my PC, and they sounded pretty good for headphones of their size.
However, when running over Bluetooth there is a noticeable drop in audio fidelity. I don't know whether to attribute that to the Trinity or to the headphones, but I suspect the Trinity. Maybe it's downmixing the audio?
There is a lot of A2DP tweaking you can do to find the best balance between audio quality and skipping/reception; I left it fairly close to the defaults for now, and I'll probably play with it more later.
The mic works with the phone and the audio quality for voice calling is outstanding. It sure makes a difference to hear a person in both ears - when I use them I almost never have to ask a person to repeat themselves. I haven't heard what anyone else sounds like when calling from the Ht820s, but friends say that they can hear a slight echo depending on the room I'm in. Makes sense because the room I usually call from is a smallish office/den with wood floors and lots of echoes.
I am going to fire up TCPMP right now to try to play a song with it. I've been using PocketMusic but it sucks balls...
Plays the song just fine, but it doesn't seem to support the next/prev track buttons at all. I tried to map them in the Hot Keys section, no dice.
PocketMusic and WMP both seem to work with the buttons, for what that's worth.
If you need anything else, just PM me like last time.

Yah I tried pocketmusic... it blows. I use tcpmp for everything. I suppose I can just use the controls on the phone itself.
I currently use the shure buds.... I hope Im not too used to the great quality ive been getting on them.

Bassless audio player sound in HTC diamond

Did you guys notice that the sound quality in htc audio output when we listen to music is almost without the bass even with bass boost or audio booster,at first i thought that it was due to lack of good audio player so i tried Pocket tunes and coreplayer but both didn't give any improvement ,its like you are listening to music with the twitter and without the bass,i tried increasing the audio quality but in vain ..its like almost horrible when it comes to audio music but pocket tunes and coreplayer in palmOS treo sounds very good with the volumes care software and even without it,the bass that it gives is almost like live..Then again I thought that it was the headset that is giving me the problem but when I listen to FM radio the sound quality is just superb so obviously its not the headset or the hardware but the audio codec that are used in the music player so I thought it will be better if there were a software like Volume care for Diamond ..i think that will do the trick.I will very thankful if any one can suggest me a way to improve the bad bassless sound quality either by enhancing software or another music player

DId you try adjusting the equalizer in the other audio software?

Are you referring to the old audio player bug where you would hear no bass at all when headphones were plugged in whilst audio booser was enabled?
Funny you should mention the FM radio sound being superb as I struggle to hear anything as the volume is too low

Yes I have tried the equalizer with full bass boost and custom mode and even volume boost feature available in pocket tunes ..there is a huge difference in FM Radio sound quality and the audio player sound quality,former gives the live like sound quality and latter is like i said its listening to twitter despite the fact that the ear piece is HTC original from the box and another thing ..don't you have the same problem?? or is it my HTC only..have you notice the FM radio and audio player sound difference..in FM radio the drum and the bass are thumping sound and very good but in audio player the drum sounds like a distance can cover banging and no bass at all(in the ear piece).

By old audio player bug means what?i don't understand.. Is there a new audio player upgrade available..if their is a new audio upgrade which solve these problems then can you point me to the right direction..your FM radio sound is too low mine is perfectly OK ..might be due to poor signal..and besides i have mention its not only the internal audio player but coreplayer and pocket tunes 4.1 too

Problem solved Did hardSPL and Radio upgrade but I think it wasn't by this coz it had nothing to do with sound quality ..may be all i needed was a hard reset which was done automatically when hard SPL upgrade was done..thanks to all

Is there a tool to reduce bass ? I have Audio Booster, but people says it has bug...so is there different tool ?
I got coreplayer, but there is no way to reduce bass in equalizer..Thanks

Hi
I've experienced something similar:
Tinny sound (no bass) hard reset everything fine.
Restore my SPB clone (push mail, all my apps) tinny sound again.
Interstingly, calls via the headset are lovely and bassy but any audio application playing files sounds really tinny and quiet.
I suspect the new version of Schapps advanced config myself as it seems to have started around the time I installed it and made my first change of some of the settings.
QUESTION: What settings in Schapps advanced config or Diamond Tweaks might I have missed? Are there any registry keys that I can delete to restore all the sound to default?
Yours
Leon
"People of Judea, Wome is your fwiend"

there's a work around for this that involves
Plugging in your headphones (vital!)
Closing Windows Media (or any other player)
Going to Audio Booster
Turn off Audio Booster
Start player - sound back to normal (sourced from Modaco)

Touch HD Radio Volume Low

Hi guys,
I just wondered if anyone elses volume for the radio was pretty rubbish? I got the phone a couple of weeks ago and I am dissapointed with the volume of the radio. I have downloaded and used HD Tweak to disable the 100DB limit, but i find it is still low. I dont like really loud music, but so you get the idea of what I mean by its low, if im on the bus with it on....full volume, i cannot hear it properly.
Hope someone can help,
Thanks!
Chris

I have the same problem
I noticed it this morning on the train, I have the official radio and XFM radio. Both were hopeless. couldnt hear very much at all as the volume is too low. when I switched to the music player - too loud. So it must be the radio - any ideas?

Same thing here

Unfortunately, yes it is ****e. Have you tried Audiobooster on top of it?

Yeah mate, doesn't make much of a difference.
Regards,
Chris.

I too second/confirm this issue.
But what can be done? Audio booster doesn't help. If you install the SRS sound enhancement cab then volume increases but not worth because a lot of incompatibilities with volume adjustments and so forth especially in TF3D and WM player.

I have the same problem on my HD / Blackstone
It seems that the radio signal is very weak (see the 2 signal "LED" chart on each side od the frequency, on the orignal application)
they don't go any further than 3 dots out of 8
Try switching off your UMTS (or data connection) on my side, it is a bit better, but nothing fantastic

Htc hd2 sound quality

When I talk on this phone, the sound is very poor... Although not too loud (like other complaints) but the sound crackles at high frequencies... The speakerphone is even worse...
Is anyone aware of some tweaks to improve communication sound on this phone?
Can AudioBooster be set up to work with the phone's sound not only the music player? Any other options ???
Thank you in advance.

I think the high volume on this phone is artificially boosted over what it's meant to be, i.e. HTC have modified the audiopara (or something like that) in the Windows folder to try and boost the speakers sound over what it's meant to be.
(Something that ROM coookers figured out on the Diamond I think).
I think, maybe someone can reduce those values back to normal? The speaker will be a little quieter, but it won't crackle or distort as much.

Which radio do you recommend? I have Leo_RADIO_2.07.50.27_2 and a terrible sound while on the phone.
Sound is to loud, impossible to lower volume enough. Much distortion even at lowest volume (which still is to loud). Bad sound in cable handsfree and BT handsfree.
Soundquality while playing music on the other hand is perfect in speaker, handsfree and BT handsfree.
Suggestions?

Since sound is often a pretty subjective matter, so I'd like to interject that the phone network only transmits from around 300 Hz to 3,000 Hz. Therefore the sound of a voice over your phone will never sound as clear and nice as it should, let alone like the 192 kbps-MP3-file you are playing
If it's worse compared to other phones however it's, as stated above, likely a problem with the radio. I use the 2.08.50.08_2 from [REF]The HTC HD2 Radio ROM Thread and have a quite decent quality.

I agree totally - if it sounds good or bad is individually. But, the sound quality in my HD2 is far worse than in my 5 years old SonyEricsson, and when I borrowed a Nokia the other day I was surprised how good (clear, crisp, distorsion free) a cell phone can sound.
I have a lot of distorsion and all too loud sound. Often I have to hold my phone 20 cm away from my ear just to avoid getting half deaf..
Thanks for the tip, I'll try the 2.08.50.08_2 Radio and hope for a better sound

you can try this hotfix...worked very well @my hd2
i got this from another forum.
little info: some users said that the soundlevel is now always set up to 100%...but try it on your own!

Thanks, trying it now, will report back after tomorrow's hardcore testing at work..

Return it if you can...
I had Nokia E71 before and it's speaker is fo another level better than HD2... BUT, question is: when I'm gonna use speakerphone on my HD2? ... almost never

Seems better, but a little to subjective at the moment. Will keep trying and report back!

Definitely better after the patch. Quite good actually. I have not seen any side effects yet, only clear sound, and better volume.
Thanks for the hotfix!
Will try it on my colleague's phone also now.

sound quality
I used the hotfix as well but it appears to have made no difference whatsoever to the quality of sound during calls , so my phone is going back to htc again and if it returns with the same issues i will ask for a replacement as due to the ammoun of posts on here this is a major flaw in the phone and a highly irritating one too , i love this phone but the audio quality during calls is appalling in comparison to all my previous phones .

After a couple more days of testing I found out that the patch gave no effect at all. BUT: I found out another thing: Even though the system volume is at lowest according to the meter, if you increase, you actually lower the volume. So, if you during a call first increase and then decrease the volume, it gets acceptable. Still to loud though.
So, it seems like what HTC really should do is to get the dialer use the sound mixer properly. Today it is obviously oversteering which creates distorsion.

this is a war we won't win

I've bought my HD2 back in Dec the 11th and since then I've been in contact with HTC about fixing this problem. They've given me a debug tool to run on my device, sent the logs twice and so far they've done nothing about it. I've given up. What I do for outgoing calls, while it rings I turn the volume all the way up and then all the way down before the other party answers. doing this you get a decent sound. Can't do much about the incoming calls,
As far as flashing different radios and roms... I've flashed about 30time already. tried all the possible radio/rom combinations but with only slight different results. Nothing to brag about!
the fix I attached helps a little bit!
If anybody finds and cure let us all know! please!!!!!

[Q] Enable FM stereo effect?

I've used serval wp7 roms and found that the fm stereo effect is not so good or not at all(but the low bass is better than stock wm6.5)...To make it clear,it's the swining of the sound from left to right makes you feel wonderful...
BTW,there is a intersting app which is called "3d Audio Experience".that's the experience of the stcock wm6.5 rom I had when listening to fm radio.
WP7 is a awesome OS,all games and musics with really good steroe effect.I am really a "radio lover"...I've been confused weather to post my question here...whatever,maybe this is not an issue at all...Maybe I am asking for more...The radio has clear sound and good bass effect...which is pretty good..
AFter years of playing,I don't just get fun from my phones,also I feel the spirit which those developers have.
Another strange thing is most headphones would have serious static background while listing to programes,but one of mine can get good signal with good quality.Have anyone experienced the same?
